Serena Williams remains the best paid sportswoman

Serena Williams is the highest paid female athlete – this is how much she made

Venus, who won five of her seven Grand Slam singles trophies in NY, is ranked and seeded 16th.

The 36-year-old American has won six of her 23 Grand Slam titles at the U.S. Open and was given the No. 17 seed by the U.S. Tennis Association - nine places above her current ranking.

Previously a six-time champion in NY, the 36-year-old has played just three matches since finishing as the runner-up at SW19 in July.

Venus, seeded 16th this year, has a first-round matchup against wildcard Svetlana Kuznetsova, a victor in NY in 2004.

It was another instance of personal matters intruding on the tennis court in a way they never have before, with Williams opening up about her struggles with post-partum emotions since the birth of daughter Olympia last September, and wrestled with feelings of inadequacy that many new mothers experience.

Williams earned just 93 thousand dollars from prize money during the past year - owing largely to her 14-month break to have a baby - but made 27 million dollars through endorsements.

Kuznetsova was given a wild-card entry for the tournament, where main-draw play begins Monday.
